lenquixote66 Posted March 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2023 In December 2015 we cruised on the Grandeur sailing out of Baltimore.It was our first cruise from that port.We loved everything about the ship.We became friendly with a group of people who sailed on the ship every December.Nobody knew each other prior. Every year they added people to the group and that year we became part of it. We booked the same cabin every December for the next three years. On the 2018 cruise one of the couples suggested that in Dec.2019 we try the Anthem.We booked the cruise and that became our favorite ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted March 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) So far, Allure. But I love 'em all. Edited March 20, 2023 by BecciBoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted March 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I love them all, but if I have to pick, I pick Allure. That ships just "spoke to my heart" the first time I was on it, and even after being on all the Oasis Class and almost all the Royal ships, it is still my favorite.

hoosier sailor Posted March 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2023 If choosing by the current roster I would say Radiance of the Seas. If I could choose and ship, including past ships, I would say Empress of the Seas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc1025 Posted March 20, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We have also sailed many of them and like them all for their own special reasons but Allure is our favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted March 20, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Adventure is my favorite, our first ship and most recent ship to sail on, so it has that going for it, plus it's the right size, not too large or too small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus1 Posted March 20, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Another vote for Adventure ! Not just favorite RCI ship but favorite ship of any line i have been on. Perfect size, lots of sea views, cozy bars. Not too big, not too small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBucketLister Posted March 20, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Since it was not specified as currently sailing ships 😉, I will have to say my favorites were Monarch of the Seas and Sovereign of the Seas. These were the first two cruise ships that we sailed on RC back in the 90's and will always have a fond place in our heart.

Especially the hotel staff on the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reijo Posted March 20, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) 40+ cruises and I believe my favorite ship is Freedom of the Seas. I like the size, the Viking Crown Lounge, the venues, etc. Just a nice size ship. Also have enjoyed the Vision Class. So, I would say: Freedom, Vision, Serenade, Mariner, Explorer. Oasis class is always nice but just a bit too large for me. Edited March 20, 2023 by Reijo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted March 20, 2023 #19 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Symphony. Just loved the entire ship; the food, entertainment, specialty restaurants and the MDR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorey2007 Posted March 21, 2023 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Liberty of the Seas was our first RCI ship in 2008. I love all the RCI ships with a Royal Promenade big or small. Not a fan of the quantum class. We'll be sailing on Liberty of the Seas again in May I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherchad Posted March 21, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We have sailed on and enjoyed a number of ships and never had a bad cruise. However, I do have particular memories of two ships that were more special. The first was Rhapsody of the Seas. Our first 5 or 6 cruises were on this smaller, older ship. This ship sailed out of Galveston for several years running and there was just something special about the crew and cruise director staff. Our very first Cruise Director was Dan Whitney, better known as Dan Dan the Party Man. Then, after several sailings on that older Vision class ship, we had our first sailing on the Voyager of the Seas. That was special because this was the first sailing on a ship that had an indoor Grand Promenade! My wife loved the Vintages and I loved the pub and we both loved the Cafe' Promenade for early morning coffee and late night pizza. In May, we'll sail on our first Oasis Class ship, the Allure of the Seas. By the way, I noticed that several posters on this thread listed Allure as their fave, but the most recent reviews on Cruise Critic are very negative. Any thoughts on why this might be?
